#DravidianModel Propaganda as Signaling – notes

July 11, 2024

It is a long-standing, very well-known & an established fact that Tamilnadu’s infamous #DravidianModel scum (mostly represented by DMK & assorted Tamil Supremacists) have consistently hated from the bottom of their poisonous hearts, the following:

  • Bharat
  • Bharatiyata AKA Hinduism AKA Sanatana Dharma
  • Scheduled Communities (Castes & Tribes)
  • Sanskrit & Hindi
  • Hindu temples
  • ‘North’
  • ‘Northies’
  • Banias
  • Brahmins
  • Tamil traditions, including Tamil language

…That’s because, #DravidianModel is built ONLY on HATE. There is nothing that even close to ‘ideology’ as far as Dravidians are concerned – and this hate seems to be sufficient for them!

It is a verifiable fact that #DravidianModel does not have one single development indicator (for which it can claim credit) to speak of; in this respect, it is an unique institution, even worse than Nazis. At least, the abominably criminal Nazis had some redeeming feature, like pushing for economic growth & national pride.

Of course Dravidians don’t even have a SINGLE redeeming feature. But it does not prevent these scum from strutting around like virile peacocks, claiming all kinds of fantastic ‘achievements.’

But then, am digressing.

Like perhaps many, I had always wondered about the relentless #DravidianModel hate propaganda in TN; had thought, it was merely meant to ‘brainwash’ Tamils – though it is flimsy, silly & unpersuasive.

But, it appears that there is more to it, as a fine scholar Haifeng Huang describes – and it warrants a fresh look.

I used to subscribe to the rather naive common-model that, since Tamil people get exposed to the same Dravidian scum message repeatedly & over time…

…they come to believe in whatever nonsense the authoritarian, Goebbelsian #DravidianModel Establishment wants them to believe.

This is also true, but it does not explain the societal situation of TN at all – especially when, importantly, the #DravidianModel propaganda contradicts reality.

Reality:

A. Tamils/Dravidians(!) are NOT controlled by a miniscule % Tamil Brahmin Illuminati scheming all the time

B. Social injustices in TN have their roots ONLY in the Goebbelsian #DravidianModel

    Given the above facts, the question is, why do #DravidianModel scum continue with their hate-propaganda…

    1. Knowing fully well that they are lies
    2. And that, practically everyone knows that they are verifiable as lies?

    Reason: #DravidianModel propaganda is also intended to instill fear in people, including ‘non-brahmins’ – not merely ‘brainwash.’

    #DravidianModel messaging in this context is:

    You may NOT hold pro-Dravidian values(!) or attitudes.

    But we will make sure you are too fearful/’bought’ to do anything about it.

    …Explains why most of the majority ‘non-brahmin’ social groups/jatis & ‘intellectuals’ are totally silent on #DravidianModel hate?
